      It's because the tempeh in America is made with old beans. This is why it's bitter. The tempeh in Bali isn't bitter at all. I just slice it and fry it for 2 minutes.

      I like tempeh when I buy it already marinated in the store but for some reason when I try to marinate it on my own I can never get the sauce to penetrate. It just kinda coats the outer surface of the tempeh no matter how long I let it sit, so it can be super flavorful on the outside and taste like nothing inside 😭 any tips??

    Tempeh is such a celebrated staple of Indonesia, I can't believe you're calling it gross! I LOVE the way it is prepared in Bali -- it doesn't need to taste bitter. Just boil it first. Also, the best vegan ice cream I've ever had is coconut based, and it doesn't taste like coconut at all! To each their own, I guess.

    I make Tempeh in memory of my daughter that was Vegan. Crumble it and cook on low heat(I like mine a little browned) then add your favorite bbq sauce(very quick and just set aside). Cut up some pieces of kale without stem and shred some carrots. Enough for a sandwich. Let sit in a mixed mixture of rice vinegar with a dab of mustard, garlic powder and paprika. Just enough time to absorb flavors and to soften kale and carrots to your liking. Add everything to your favorite bun. I make sweet potato fries on the side to go with it. That was one of her favorites 😉

    I understand her. She was a vegan before vegan was main stream, and it was honestly really hard to find other options. For the things like black bean burgers and chocolate, I agree while I love dark chocolate, it would be nice to have milk chocolate once in a while. Almond milk is really chalky, Tempe does have a weird texture and taste, and any ice cream that has coconut as a base taste like coconut, no matter white sometimes I don’t wanna taste coconut. I think she made valid preferences from a long term vegan POV.

      Most almond milk on the market is disgusting and I'm not a vegetarian, Let alone a vegan so I "Feel" for you. All the goodness of almond milk has been stepped on. Silk is a brand I will never buy and blue diamond used to be one of the few good ones but they changed. My advice is to invest in a good food processor or ninja version, some really good strainers and blend your own. The same sentiment goes to the ice cream stuff. Real coconut meat, and true oil actually doesn't taste all that strong of coconut, and I love coconut but Even I've had some things where it's so overpowering it's a yuck 🤢. WHY oH WHY can't food be real anymore. New and Improved doesn't mean better. It means They reformulated to be Less costly to the company to produce or manufacture, with less than or inferior ingredients, in smaller sizes, so they can hype up false claims, increase the cost and tell us they're doing it for our benefit... I might have been Born At Night but it wasn't last night and this is not my first rodeo. Hey company - All of them. I Read the fine print. You're not fooling anyone...

      Dark chocolate isn't any more real than American chocolate. It's just higher in chocolate liqeur and cacao. Mass-produced American chocolate is just cheap. It may contain fewer cocoa solids, or have butyric acid, or vegetable fats, or be cooked at a lower temperature. We can blame this on the standard Hershey set. But there are plenty of American brands that are as good or better than International brands.
      But she's not dissing American brands here. She's annoyed by the fact that there aren't that many milk chocolate options for people with dietary restrictions. Most of the world can't drink dairy milk. Vegan milk chocolate would be great for even non-vegans.

    Tempeh is incredible - it's not necessarily just a "vegan" food option but an ingredient used in certain cultures cuisine; there are great recipes for proper preparation, (rather than commercialized "bacon" tempeh)

    I'm not even vegan. I'm dairy free and I completely agree with you on chocolate. That in the fact that it is much more expensive. Though I will state that using plant. Based milks does cause a little more of an issue getting the chocolate to be cohesive

    Lol I disagree with everything but I like your attitude so much! 😂😅 Tempeh is so tasty! I just had some today. And dark chocolate is the only REAL chocolate. That other stuff is diluted with sugar. But to be honest when I went vegan dark chocolate was the only vegan option and my tastebuds adjusted to it. I now prefer dark rich flavour even with other options around.

    I'm not a big tempeh fan but I do like to sometimes cube it, marinate it in a little Bragg's amino's, Wright's liquid smoke, Penzeys "sausage seasoning" then air fry until a little crisp and eat it with some grits and some plant scramble like JUST Egg or tofu. Btw forgive the brand name drops - I'm not being sponsored by anyone, those are simply the combos I used that make Tempeh tasty for me.

      I’m not white and I’m pretty sure you just misinterpreted what she said. Coconut is a really strong flavor, so if you make coconut ice cream it will take taste like coconuts no matter what else you add to it. That’s fine if you want something coconut flavored, but if you don’t then it’s not so great.

    Candace. If you want a good tempeh. Try Tempea. You can get it in Vancouver. They also just recently released a cracker/chip made from it. They use the same culture as tempeh. Instead of soy beans. They use peas. The flavour is so much better.

    Duuude i use to hate tempeh too because i had a "vegan BLT" and hated the texture. Then one day i decided to try it again, i made it CRISPY AND CRUNCHY, in the oven, and i cannot express enough how DELICIOUS it was, i was in heaven, i had 2 servings for dinner because it was sooo good. I now love tempeh, it just has to be cooked a certain way. I cannot get over that texture, biting into layers of soft and crunchy layered over each other, soooooooo so good. Like the outer part of every single bean in the tempeh was crunchy. It's amazing

    @stephaniejean7324 2 місяці тому

    Coming from an 11yr vegan 🤓
    Tempeh: I like the 3 Grain Tempeh from Trader Joe’s the best! It doesn’t taste as bitter (tho I don’t mind that) but it allows me to include a couple different fermented grains that I wouldn’t normally eat. The more plant varieties the better. Also it’s the cheapest! I eat it every day with a Thai ginger dipping sauce 😙👌🏻
    Coconut ice cream: bleh, it’s too watery 😝 cashew is best 🙌🏻 (might make you fart tho)
    Almond milk: only the chocolate variety! I can’t find chocolate milk in any other nut variety without paying twice as much. I think I’ve only found Ripple brand making a chocolate milk.
    Dark chocolate: love it and only buy it dark. I get dark chocolate with almonds in it (less sugar, added benefit), then add peanut butter and hemp hearts on top and it’s like a candy bar for me 😋
    Burgers: not much of a burger fan so I don’t really buy any, unless it’s the best looking thing on the menu.

    Agreed with the black bean burger. I'm not a vegan (I love honey and plain dairy yoghurt too much) but recently the only burgers for non-carnivores you can get is the meat replacement 'plant burgers' or bean burgers! Like, you can make perfectly amazing burgers with, you know, visible peas, carrots, potatoes, you know, actual vegetables! It's frustrating, and the only place I can get actual vegetables is, ironically, McDonald's with their Veggie Delight - two vegetable fingers in the place of a burger. So weird to be the one who wants to go to McD's when friends are arranging a meetup!
